10' Claims.

This invention relates to'liquid supply systems and in particular to supply systems used to provide water under pressure for factory, domestic or other desired purposes. Y

It is an object of the present invention to provide a water supply system which will be automatically controlled to insure that an adequate supply of water will be available at .the' tank outlet at all times.

Another object is to providea water supply system using an injector circuitftoincreasethe lift of the pump with a control means to minimize the danger of the system breaking prime due to the location of the source of water at a distance below the pump greater than the'suction lift ability of the pump.

Another object is to provide a water supply system which will not lose its prime during rela- Lively long periods of non-use. I

A further object is to provide a water system using an injector circuit, in whichthe addition of air into the storage tank may be regulated by the amount of air already present in the tank.

A still further object is to provide. a water system, having an injector circuit, with a control means whereby the pump may be operated at an efficient capacity without danger of the pump losing its prime during operation. 1

Another object is to provide a water system using an injector circuit in which the proportion of water recirculated through the injector circuit is determined by the vacuum in the intake passage of the pump.

Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description accompanied by the drawings, in which:

Fig. 6 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 66 of Fig. 5. I a In'the accompanying drawings, in which like parts throughout the several views-are indicated by the same reference numerals. two modified forms of .water supply systems are shown.- Figs. 1 to 3, inclusive, illustrate an embodiment of the invention in which the amount of additional'air, supplied to the storage tank is regulated by. .the

amount of air already'present in the tank- "Figs.

4 to 6, inclusive, show a modified form of water line 2 leading toa suitable pump 3 .and having therein a suitable jet or injector mechanism indicated generally by the numeral 4, a discharge used to energize the motor may be passed through a suitable pressure responsive switch l0, as will be explained in detail later. Water may be withdrawn from the outlet ll of the storage tank I.

The control valve 6 serves the purpose'of controlling the amount of water discharged directly from the pump to the storage tank, causing certain of the water from .the pump to pass back to the intake line 2 through a conduit l2 which is knownin the art as a drive line. Water passing through the drive'line is forced upwardly through the injector mechanism t and aids in portions of a swiftly moving impeller l4 which by centrifugal force throws the water into an annular pressure channel IS. The water travels in a rotary motion in'the pressure channel until it reaches an outlet passage l6 which opens into 1 a chamber H, the chamber l1 registering with discharge line-5 and also with the drive line I2. The impeller I4 is mounted on one end of a drive shaft I8 which is suitably journaled in a casing or frame 20 which also supports the motor-'8.

The details of the. particular pump used are not highly important, any suitable pump'which will perform the necessary operations being suitable for the present invention.

Below the point in the' intake line 2 at which the drive line I2 is connected. the intake line is provided with what is known in the art as a foot valve 2|, which comprises a valve body 22 which rises fromits seat 23 when the water pressure outside the intake line is greater than the pressure in the intake line.

The injector mechanism may be of any suitable type but preferably comprises an annular casing 24 connected to the intake line and having an internal Jet 25 which is connected to the driveline H. The jet 25 is spaced from the interior walls of the casing 24 so that water may pass through the jet as well as around the sides thereof. Secured to the casing 24 and having its inlet disposed in the region of the jet orifice is a Venturi nozzle 26 which is wholly disposed within the intake line 2. Water passing through the drive line [2 entersthe jet 25 where its velocity is materially increased and its pressure correspondingly decreased. Water from the Jet passes directly into the Venturi nozzle and due to the action of the jet and venturi, additional water is induced through the foot valve 2| of the casing 24 and is drawn into the venturi and up the intake line for an appreciable distance.

In operation water from the impeller |4 enters the pressure chamber H where it divides between the discharge line and the drive line i2. -Water from the drive line |2 discharging from the jet 25 at high velocity creates a partial vacuum in the region at the entrance to the Venturi nozzle 26, whereby water in the casing 24 drawn through the foot valve 2| enters the Venturi nozzle. The velocity energy of the combined stream is then converted into pressure energy in the Venturi tube. When water is supplied through the drive line |2 at a specified pressure, it will develop at the exit end of the Venturi tube a pressure sufficient to lift the combined stream through a height L to a point in the intake line 2 at a vertical distance 8 below the. pump impeller. If the distance S is not greater than the suction lift ability of the pump, operation of the pump is continuous and the quantity of water entering the foot valve 2| is delivered to the storage tank 1 through the discharge line 5. However, if the pressure in the region of the chamber l1 and the discharge line 5, decreases to such a value that the pressure in the drive line I2 is insufllcient to raise water in the intake line 2 to such a height L that the distance S is within the suction lift of the pump, then the pump will break prime and operation will cease. To maintain the amount of water passing into the drive line sufficient to keep the pump in operation, the control valve 5 is provided.

Details or the control valve 6 may best be seen in Fig. 2. The control valve 8 comprises a casing 21 provided with an inlet passage 28 communicating with the discharge line 5 from the pump and provided with an outlet passage 38 which discharges into a continuation of the discharge line 5 connected to the interior of the storage tank 1. Between the inlet passage 28 and the outlet passage 30, a valve seat 3| is disposed, having a central opening 32 therethrough. Disposed concentrically within the opening 32 is a valve body 33. one end of which is located in a recess of a spring retaining washer 34 and mounted below the washer 34 and opposed thereto, is an identical washer 35.. between which washers a coil spring 38 is retained. Within the recess of the washer 35 a projection of a bolt 31 is located, said bolt being threadedly mounted in an aperture of the casing. A lock nut 38 is also threadedly mounted on the bolt 31 so that the position of the bolt 31 with respect to the casing 21 may be maintained. The top portion of the valve body 33 terminates in a cylindrical stem 40 which extends through and is Journaled in a member 4| threadedly mounted in the casing 21. The top surface of the member 4| may be slightly concave and is provided with a circumferential flat surface upon which a flexible diaphragm 42 may be mounted, such diaphragm being held over the concave portion of the member 4| by a. member 43 similar in shape to the member 4| but disposed in opposite relation' thereto. The flat surfaces of the members 43 and 4| may be secured togetherby suitable bolts 44. This construction provides chambers 45 and 46, respectively, disposed on each side of the diaphragm 42. The chamber 45 is enclosed by the diaphragm and the concave surface of the member 4| and the stem 48 of the valve body In this manner, when the pump is started into operation, a high vacuum impulse is created in the intake line in the region of the intake passage 3 of the pump and this high vacuum impulse is transmitted through the tube 50 to the chamber 45, causing a lowering of the flexible diaphragm 42 (looking at Fig. 2). When the system is at rest the diaphragm 42 lies against the concave surface of the member 43 as shown in dotted outline in Fig. 2 and downward movement of the diaphragm causes the stem 40 to move in a downward direction, thereby compressing the coil spring 36. As the stem 40 and the valve body 33 are moved in a downward direction the size of the opening 32 through the valve seat 3| decreases, restricting the flow of water therethrough. This builds up the pressure in the intake passage 28 of the casing 21 and'the increased pressure is transmitted to the chamber thereby forcing a large proportion of the water discharged by the pump into the drive line l2. As the proportion of water passing through the drive line I2 is increased, the amount of water induced through the Venturi tube is also increased, thus causing an increase in the pressure, that is, a decrease in the vacuum in the intake line 2 which, being transmitted through the tube 58, may allow the diaphragm 42 to rise slightly. During the operation of the pump the diaphragm 42 may fluctuate in accordance with the pressures in the system, but upon stopping of the pump the system will come to rest and the diaphragm 42 will move to the position shown in dotted outline in Fig. 2 against the concave surface of the member 43 thereby causing a material reduction in the volume of the chamber 46.

The chamber in the member 43 communicates through an aperture 5| in the member 43 with an air line 52 which is secured to the air injector mechanism disposed on the storage tank 1, as shown in Fig. 1. The details of the air in- 2,286,618 H jection mechanism are shown in Fig. .3.- where it 4 maybe seen that such mechanism comprises a one end of a float lever 66, the other end of which extends into the recess 64. The recess 54 is separatedirom the interior of the storage tank through an aperture disposed intermediate the ends or a small stem or pin 60 slidably mounted in recesses of the body 58.

As shown in Fig. 3, the lower end of the stem 60 is adapted to slide in a guide recess 61 disposed in the wall of the central recess 54 in the body- 58. The upper end of the member 66 is fluted and is mounted in a guide recess 62 in the wall of the central recess 54 opposite the guide recess 6|. The guide recess 62 opens through the body 53 and is counterbored to provide a seat for a ball 63, said counterbored portion being mdicated by the numeral 64 and being closed by a set screw 65 threaded into the body 53. Opening from the counterbored'portion 64 is a relatively small aperture 66 extending through the body 53 and communicating with the interior of the storage tank I.

, Thus, when the water level of the storage tankv is such that the float 55 raises the float lever to approximately the position shown in Fig. 3, the stem 60 is in its lower position out of contact with body I58 having a central recess 54. The storage tank-1 is provided with a float 55 connected to Furthermore, ii the system is at rest for an appreciable period of time. a portion of the air above the water is absorbed into the water, which of course decreases the amount oi air above the water. It is, therefore, desirable to inject air into the storage tank when theair supply'is low.

In the operation of the automatic air injection system such as is used in the embodiment oi the present, shown in Figs. 1 to 3, inclusive, the air injectionsystem is mounted in the region of the desired water level to be maintained in the tank by providing the float 55 and the float lever 56.. Additional air may be injected into the tank according to the dictates of the float and float lever.

To facilitate this automatic air injection the pressure responsive switch I0 is provided. This switch may be of any suitable construction as is well known in the art and usually comprises a pressure responsive element, which, being in communication with the pressure in the storage tank, serves to start the operation of the pump when the pressure in the tank falls below a certain predetermined value and stops the operation of the pump when the pressure in the tank increases above a certain predetermined value. If desired,

the switch may be made so that its pressure limits the ball 68 so that the ball '63 seats and closes the opening between the counterbored portion 64 and the guide recess 62 and forms a check valve whereby communication between the sealed recess 54 and the interior of the storage tank I may only be had in the direction from the recess 54 into the storage tank and not from the storage tank to the recess. When the level in the storage tank I falls and the float 55 pivots the float lever 56 about the flexible wall 51, the stem 66 will be raised by the float lever and will raise the ball 64 from its seat providing communication between the recess 54 and the storage tank Tin either direction for a purpose to be described later.

A hollow bushing 61 having a central aperture or bore 68 therethrough and a ball valve.

is impounded above the water in the storag tank for the purpose of creating pressure, the main difilculty encountered is to insure that an adequate supply of air is present above the water. If insuflilcient air is present the withdrawal of a relatively small amount of water from the storage tank will rapidly lower the pressure in the tank and to obtain more pressure the pump must be started at very frequent intervals. If, on the other hand, the amount of air above water in the storage tank is too great, there is a possibility that when water is" being withdrawn a steady stream will not be available due to air bubbling may be adjusted.

- The hook-up for switch [0 is diagrammatically shown in F18. 1.. A suitable source of current is indicated by the wires H and-I2, respectively. A wire "is connected to the wire II and also to one contact of the switch Ill. The wire I2 is connected by a wire 13 to one terminal of the motor 8. The other contact of the switch I0 is connected by a suitable wire 15 to the other terminal of the motor 8.

As water is withdrawn from the storage tank 1, the pressure in the tank falls below th predetermined amount and the switch It causes the motor to start the pump in operation, and, as previously mentioned, a high vacuum impulse created in the intake line is transmitted through the tube 50 to the chamber 45, the diaphragm 42 is moved downwardly (viewing Fig. 2), and the chamber 46 is expanded in volume, creating a partial vacuum therein. a

If at the time the partial vacuum is created in the chamber 46 the water level in the tank I is suiflciently low so that there is an ample amount of air in the storage tank, the float 55 has moved downwardly from the position shown in Figs. 1 and 3, has caused the float lever 51 to pivot about the flexible wall 51 and raise the stem 60, thereby unseating the ball 63 so that the air in the storage tank may pass through the aperture 66, the counterbored portion 64, into the recess 54, and through the air line 52 to the chamber 46, to compensate for the partial vacuum.

However, if at the time the partial vacuum is created in the chamber 46 the water level in the storage tank I is above the proper level, that is, the amount of air in the storage tank is insufilcient, the float 55 will be raised to the position shown in Figs. 1 and 3 and communication from the storage tank to the recess 54 is prevented by the seating of the ball 63 on its seat in the counterbored portion 64. Therefore, there will also be a partial vacuum in the recess 64 and atmospheric pressure will force air through the bore 68 of the hollow bushing 61 andwill raise the ball 69 from its seat in the counterbored portion of the bore 68 of the bushing 61 to compensate for the vacuum. When the diaphragm 42 returns to through the pipes leading from the storage tank.v its position against the member 43, the volume f the chamber 45 is contracted and the additional air which enters through the check valve in the bushing 81 will be forced past the fluted portions of the stem 68 into the counterbored portions 84 and through the small aperture 88 and will join the body of air above the water in the tank.

Thus it may be seen that the air injection. mechanism is compensating in its effect, that is,

when there is an insufficient amount of air in the storage tank, air will be iniected into the storage tank each time the pump is started, and no air will be pumped into the storage tank so long as there is sufficient air contained therein. This effect is cumulative due to the fact that with an insuflicient amount of air in the storage tank the pump will operate more often because the pressure in the tank drops more rapidly when the water is withdrawn from the tank.

It is to be noted that the design of the control valve, indicated generally by the numeral 6, is very advantageous in many respects. The valve body 33 is curved in such a manner as to reduce shock on the system due to closing and opening of the valve body 33, and it is also to be noted that the valve seat 3| and the opening therethrough is curved somewhat complementary to the valve body 33, so that the valve body and valve seat cooperate to form, in effect, a.divergent tube which tends to convert the velocity energy of the water passed therethrough into pressure energy.

Furthermore, it. may be seen that the valve body 33 is forced away from its valve seat 3i by spring 38 so that the valve opening is wide open during periods when'the pump is at rest. This allows suiflcient water to pass back into the pump and jet lines to replace any water that might be lostthrough leakage of the foot valve 1 or the packing gland around the pump shaft, thereby preventing the system from losing its prime-during periods of non-use. v

In the embodiment of the present invention shown in Figs. 4, 5, and 6, the major portion of the water system is substantially the same. In this embodiment a modifledform of control valve,

valve seat member 82. One end of the stem 81 is received in the central aperture of a hollow screw 7 88 threadedly engaged by the wall of the casing indicated generally by the numeral 18, is used,

and a different air injection system is also used which does not require the injection mechanism shownindetail in Fig.3. v I

Briefly, the air injection mechanism shown in the system illustrated by Figs. 4 to 6. inclusive, operates to inject a predetermined amount of air into the water lineleading tothe storage tank each time the 'pump is started and stopped. This device is so constructed that approximately correct amount of air is injected into the storage tank, and it has been found that such a'system will be highly satisfactory unless, of course, it is operated under extreme or abnormal usages.

The control valve 1.8 has a main body or casing 11 into which one end of the discharge pipe 5 from the pump is connected, as indicated at 18.

"The discharge line 5 from the control valve 18 to the tank 1 is connected into the casing asindicated at 88 in Fig. 5. On the interior of the casing a central chamber 8I communicates with the ends of the discharge pipe 5 leading from the pump and to the storage tank. Disposed in the chamber 8i and subdividing it into two portions is a-valve s eat member 82 held in place by a set screw 83. Two cooperative members 84 and 85, respectively, make up the valve body and both of these members are mounted on a suitable stem 81 and disposed in an opening 88 through the 11 and adapted to be secured by a lock nut 88. The circumferential portions of the inner end of the screw 88 are received in a recessed portion of a collar 8| which is freely mounted on the stem 81. One or more suitable coil springs 82 may be disposed between two opposed circumferential recesses in the valve body and collar 8|, respectively.

The other end of the stem 81 is iournaled in a wall of the casing 11 extending therethrough and terminating in a chamber 83. The chamber 83 is defined by the concave surface of one end of the casing 11 and is surrounded by circumierential flange portions which terminate in relatively flat surfaces, upon which a flexible diaphragm 84 may be mounted. The diaphragm may be held against the circumferential flat portions and across the chamber 83 by a concave member 85 having similar circumferentially extending flat-surfaced portions. The member 85 may be bolted to the end of the casing 1.1 by suitable stud bolts 86 which extend through the adjacent flat surfaced circumferential flanges of the member and the casing 11, and when the member 85 is so mounted on the casing 11 the concave surfaces thereof form a chamber 81 closed by the flexible diaphragm 84. An enlarged head 88 is carried by the end of the stem 81 within the chamber 83 so that the stem may contact the diaphragm 84 throughout a relatively large arear As in the construction of the control valve shown in Fig. 2, the tube 58, which is connected to the intake line 2 at one end, has its other end connected to and in communication with the chamber 83 by means of the aperture I88. Disposed in a wall of the member 85 and in communication with the chamber 81 is an aperture I8I which connects the chamber 81 with a double check valve construction shown in Fig. 6. In Fig. 6 the lower check valve, indicated by the numeral I82, may only transmit air into a passage I83 which is open to the chamber 81 through the aperture I8.I. The other check valve I84 is constructed so that it can only transmit air from the passage I83 through an air line I85 to the chamber 8I in the interior of the casing 11 in a region adjacent the outlet thereof.

The operation of the control valve 18 is quite similar to the operation of the control valve 8,

it being substantially as follows: When the pump 3 is started into operation, a high vacuum impulse created in the intake line is transmitted through the tube 58 and the aperture I 88 to'the chamber 83 and moves the flexible diaphragm 84 from its dotted line position shown in Fig. 6 to its full line position, thereby causing the enlarged head 88 tomove the stem 81 towards the right and restrict the opening 86 between the valve body 84 and the valve seat member 82. The movement of the flexible diaphragm 84 causes an expansion in the volume of the chamber 81, reducing the air pressure therein so that air is forced through the check valve I82 into the sume the position shown in dotted outline in Fig. 6, that is, against the con'cavesurfa'ce of the member 95, thereby decreasingth'e volume ofthe,

chamber 91 and forcing the air in the passage I03 through the check valve I04 and thefline I05 into the-chamber 8!, where the air may.

pass through the discharge line 5 to thestorage t-ankl. If desired, a bleeder screw I06 may be disposed in the wall of the casing 11 to close an aperture I01 communicating with the chamber 93, so that any air bubbles which may accumulate in the chamber 33 can be exhausted therefrom to assure proper movement of the stem 81;

In the embodiment of the invention shownin operated without the additional feature of an air injection mechanismwhich is shown-in the drawings. For example, the control valvemay be used in a water supply system havinga storage tank which supplies water to taps by gravity. In such a case the function of the control valve is to direct a sufiicient. amount of water down the drive line to insure that the height L through which the injector lifts water is at a distance S from the pump impeller,.the distance S being within the suction lift ability of the pump, so that the pump will not lose its prime during operation thereof.
